I'm starting a Tele residency here in just over a week, but I have tons of nursing friends in different semesters that have finished their own Med Surg residencies. Honestly I've only ever heard great things. They'll say med-surg can be a bit more ch...

Okay so I'm a new grad in the DFW area as well. Finding a job around here is a bit tricky but there are TONS of residency programs that open up 3 times a year. Make sure to look at all the THR hospitals and the Methodist hospitals. They are great com...

I noticed no one responded to this as far as I'm aware. I completed the TCC program in December. There are tons of hospitals you could potentially get in each semester and you get experience related to each semester. So for OB you'll be in postpartum...

I actually laughed out loud reading the title of this post. Not because I think your situation is funny but because it's just so darn relatable. I felt incompetent through almost all of nursing school. It wasn't until half way through the last semest...

I just graduated and got my license here in the state of TX and got a job in a residency with a magnet hospital. I have an ADN. I'm signing a contract saying I'll get my BSN within 2 years. The job market here is VERY competitive because there's a lo...

Beekee is right, doesn't matter at all what the medical diagnosis is. You have all the info you need in the assessment data to make a plan. 'Priority' is a BIG key word in nursing school. Visions of your Maslow's Hierarchy and, here's the big on here...

Khan Academy has a huge Chemistry sections. Find videos with titles that are similar to what you're learning in class and watch those to start.

I'm starting in Spring as well! I bought a Plum Paper planner. Very similar to Erin Condren, it's sooo cute. But a tad bit cheaper and had the layout I wanted. I'm also reading my ENORMOUS textbook whenever I can. It's very intimidating but I'm excit...

Congrats!! The same thing happened to me actually, they told me we'd find out Sept. 30 and we wound up hearing back Sept. 18th. I was eating lunch with my friend at the time and suddenly facebook was going nuts with "I got in!" haha. I was like...wat...

Our cohort just might not be nearly as interested as being involved, which is a little depressing. Haha. I guess we'll see when spring rolls around ~

Talked to someone in the program. Street clothes to class. She said to expect our schedules mid-October. She also said drug screen is a week before class and the background test is to be done over winter break.

I just know I was told to avoid the hybrid classes. On top of that, I LOVE being in class. I love school. Right now I sort of feel like I'll be in school forever which is aggravating XD But still, I love it. I'm good at it. Motivating myself to get t...

Jenny: Why can't you retake? Have you already taken them twice? You're allowed two attempts.

Blindsayyyy there's already a FB group! Look up TCC Nursing Spring 2016 and it'll show up :)

I'm IN!!!

13 days at the most. That's really not that bad. We'll survive! I'm hoping it's them exaggerating a bit and really we find out in the 20s. But hopefully I won't get weirdly nervous again until the 30th haha. Just gonna keep throwing myself into schoo...

She didn't mention why, no. The entire email was literally "The emails will go out at the end of the month. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Hang in there." I guess technically it could be next week, but I'm guessing 28-30th, which is two weeks, b...

Just got a response back. She confirmed " end of the month " like Tink just said. So we can all go back to how we were a couple days ago since it's probably two weeks away.

Okay so I went ahead and sent a very polite email to poor Katherine. XD I'll post here the second she responds so no one else here has to email her at least haha. @Wildearth; I'm so envious. I don't have work or school today. I'm trying to get some s...

I don't know Katherine's email or I'd probably email her I'm certainly not losing sleep over it but it is all the sudden on my mind a lot now that it's the 15th. And I keep checking my email Haha. You guys hang in there and remember to breathe haha...

The 1000 apps happened for Fall 2015:P And I am so with you guys. One minute I'm SURE I have a seat waiting for me and the next I'm a little teary-eyed because I'm SURE I'm not in hahaha. It's really hard to deal with. XD I have a couple friends I me...

Hill just lost its accreditation. So everyone in the middle of it was basically told 'welp aanything you've done here is now useless.' Hurt the last semester students the most. The 23rd is the latest I''ve seen yeah.

I'm also holding out hope they tell us tomorrow even though I'm fairly sure they won't. I'm also sure it won't be as late as the 23rd though because when it was that 'late' it was because Hill closed down and they had 1000 apps. This week will be tor...

This waiting is definitely some of the longest days of my life for sure. But only roughly 10 more days. I just need to focus on my studies haha.

It looks like spring semester starts on January 19th. I don't think there's any way to know the date of the end of it at this point. I have no idea the date of clinicals starting either, but I THINK spring class generally starts in March. Not 100% on...
